My Mycelium Journey

I have pink oysters inoculated into rye grain. Also in a dextrose liquid culture recipe i found online. The entire syringe is consumed so I'm hopeful that I will have a viable non-contaminated source.  I'm thinking the next syringe i get might be lion's mane. I've heard pinks go bad pretty quickly and that kings can last up to 2 weeks. Everything will be potentially dehydrated if it doesn't sell. Pinks lose their color when heated, so maybe i can go really low and slow for their preservation. I plan to drive to a feed store that's an hour away or so next week to pick up soy hulls and sawdust pellets. It's a co-op and they were really nice. they ordered 1 50lb bag and he didn't even laugh too much at the low order quantity. Ordered grain storage bins on Chewy.com. Those deliver today.  I ordered mushroom bags, but they are not the size I thought they were going to be. I have 50 of these. These could be cute grow your own mushroom kits. Maybe? Have quite a...

I just tracked down soybean hulls in a feed store in New Braunfels. A co-op... that's what the kids are  calling it these days.  Going to use the master's mix as my initial substrate. Should be able to grow quite a variety... from Oysters to Lion's Mane. As of right now, I'm thinking the Garage will be the fruiting room and the front room will be the lab after the tile project completes. Fortunately, the producers co-op also has pelleted shavings too so I'll only have to make one trip (all the way to the pits of hell). For right now during feasibility... I'm only going to get a bag of each, 100 lbs substrate.  That should be about 20, 12lb bags. Have rye grain for the grain spawn. Will see if they have rye grain at the c-op too when I make my first trek down there. I'd imagine it's much cheaper.  Bubba's Barrels  House of Hydro PVC piping thru 2x4's for shelving Area for power washing, bleaching, draining
